Chapter Sixty-Eight: Everyone Is an Impostor
Bai Ye looked at the river that led up and down, and then looked at the outpost with no end in sight, it was not difficult to imagine how strong the financial resources of the consortium were to invest so much manpower and material resources to control a water source. But even a consortium with such strong financial resources had to choose to give up its position under the interference of monsters, which made him understand that the wild is not the home of humans after all, and there are too many factors that can cause humans to die.
It also made him more cautious and cautious, and it took him less than two minutes to walk less than twenty meters. The sound of the water is not very turbulent, the speed of the rapids is not very fast, and even the water flow can only be seen slightly on the surface of the river.
He looked curiously at the direction of the river, which stretched straight down and followed by a sharp turn, and he didn't know where it would go behind the bend, but it certainly wouldn't flow to the refugee area.
This and the refugee area seem to be like two worlds, there is an inexhaustible source of water in front of you, and even if the refugee area digs more than ten meters deep, it is only alkaline water, I have to say that this world is really ridiculous!
The water was so clear that even though it was still dark, he could clearly see the fish swimming at the bottom. Most of these fish are very plump, and each one is very vigorous, which may also have something to do with the water quality.
He had heard from his father that before the Big Bang, there was a lot of heavy industry left behind by humans, and after the water pollution, most of the wild fish were inedible, and there were basically parasites in them. Two hundred years later, the water purified fish can be eaten, but human beings do not have this blessing.
Many fish may seem docile on the surface, but the moment you go to catch them, you will find that they are the prey. Climate change has eliminated most of the existing fish species, leaving them with ferocious carnivorous fish that are more dangerous to catch than hunting in the mountains.
Shiraba looked at the fish swimming at the bottom of the river, carefully put the water bottle into the river, and instantly a cold feeling of comfort spread throughout his body, and at this moment he even had the urge to take off his clothes and take a bath.
This impulse was suppressed by him, the water bottle gradually filled, he took back the kettle with satisfaction, looking at the kettle filled with white mist in the bottle, he regretted a little why he didn't bring one more out.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and he turned around and left with regret.
However, just as he turned around, there was a sudden loud bang on the river!
Rumble!
It was the sound of something coming out of the water, and he didn't have time to turn around to see that he immediately activated the Shadow Maneuver attribute to quickly avoid the opposite direction of the sound, but his speed was still a beat slower, and he only felt a sharp tingling sensation suddenly coming from his shoulder, as if he had been bitten by something.
He glanced over his shoulder, and saw that an arm-long fish was biting his shoulder and dragging him into the water!
Without hesitation, Shiraba pulled out a dagger and plunged it into the fish's head, and the fish's tail shook violently, causing a sharp pain in the body.
He bared his teeth and pulled the fish out of his shoulder, and blood immediately flowed out of his shoulder, and when the blood dripped into the river, the fish that was originally swimming under the water became frantic as if it had gone crazy, and for a time the whole river was boiling, and countless black fish rolled in the river and stirred the river like boiling water!
He had never seen the surface of the river, which had no waves, be turned upside down by a drop of blood, and the fish were constantly biting at the bodies of their companions because of the competition for blood, and the fish were constantly gnawed, and the blood was constantly flowing out, and in just a few seconds, the bright red blood instantly dyed the river red.
Bai Ye looked at the boiling river with palpitations, picked up the fish and quickly retreated, unexpectedly that he was attacked just by turning around.
He remembered that an old man in the refugee area had said: When you leave the river, you must not leave the back to the river, otherwise you will never know what killed you.
I can't think of it, it's still careless, if I fall into the water, I'm afraid that the bones are made of iron, and I will be bitten by this group of fish.
It seems to be a calm river, but it only takes one careless to die!
He remembered this sentence deeply, regardless of the wound on his shoulder, he took the water and the fish and launched the Shadow Maneuver attribute again and left quickly, the movement here was too loud and there was such a strong smell of blood, it would definitely attract other predators, all he had to do was to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
It wasn't too far from the camp for him, and when he was still a mile away from the camp, he slowed down, and while he found herbs to prevent infection, he chewed and applied them to his wounds, while still recalling the terrible scene on the river just now.
It's just that he walked for 20 minutes to reach the camp, and his purpose in doing so was to avoid unnecessary trouble, the mountain road of Wuli Land basically takes 1 hour for ordinary people to walk, and he only takes five minutes to walk, which is bound to arouse Le Shan's suspicions.
However, when he returned to the camp, he found that this thought was a bit redundant, the original vigorous bonfire had long been extinguished, the charcoal buried under the ashes was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and the private army in the camp was long gone, and the ground was full of food scraps and empty water bottles.
In just a while, this group of kings and calves all ran away, this is to completely abandon their own rhythm, he touched his nose and muttered in a low voice: "If you have a problem, don't be so wary of me, make it as if you are a fake private army......
After saying this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of the possibility he just said, could this be a group of fake private soldiers?!
He didn't think much when he wasn't suspicious, but when he was suspicious, he found that this group of people did have a lot of suspicions, Xia Wei, the female chief, didn't say anything, and rushed at the first time they met, each holding a gun There was a problem, at that time he thought that the other party was too vigilant, and now it seems that this group of people is treating him as a real Yanchi private army.
He instantly felt a little chill in his back, Leshan was a fake private army, Ke Leshan now thought that he was the real Yanchi Overseer, so he would definitely find a way to kill himself.
No wonder he would encourage himself to find water alone, not even a single guard, just thinking that it would be best for him to die on the road!
He was glad that the group hadn't attacked last night, but if he continued to follow them, he might have to be killed at some point. But if you don't follow this group of people, how will the last side quest be completed?
Just give up dozens of weapon fragments like that, he shook his head and was unwilling to do so.
This private army is definitely not going back, but the task must not be abandoned, he can only come up with a compromise after thinking for a while, that is, to follow the team far away, after all, the premise of the last side quest is that he can't leave the team.
The light in the jungle is not very good, and most of them are still dim at this time, so Leshan should not be able to go far in this case. He looked at the traces around him and soon found that there were a large number of traces of human movement in a direction deep into the mountains and forests, and his body moved slightly and quickly followed, no matter what, the last side quest must not be abandoned!
